• 17 May 2021 in Senate: I am still reading so that I may make a proper conclusion on this when it comes to voting. Otherwise, as of now, I ask MCAs to be very serious when it comes to impeachment matters. They are expensive to our counties. I urge them to do thorough oversight activities in their counties so that they may support us. This is because most of times, we are here in the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that whenever you hear most of the counties we have gone, you hear the people, society and the public saying that most of ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my observation. First of all, I would like to note that this is a very important view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: process. The people Wajir County are expecting this House to determine what will happen to them in the next 14 months before elections. These are very few months that we can let anything go that way. Even one week or a day for a dangerous person means a lot to the lives of the people of this country. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: It is so important that we must consider every allegation that has been brought to this House very keenly so that judgment may satisfy the needs and wishes of the people of Wajir. I have read the charges brought before us. The first one is on gross violation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, County Government Act 2012 and Public Procurement and Disposal Act. This is a very serious violation. We are seeing all these happening in all our counties. As Sen. Wetangula said, in every five years, this country goes on an exercise to elect very humble 47 governors. ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: After reading these allegations, I felt for the people of Wajir County. We must also be very careful so that people outside there may not make this House a lynching ground. As I said, we must be very keen on every allegation brought to us. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The first allegation is failure to account for the financial resources allocated to the county. I am in Senate Committee on County Public accounts and Investments (CPAIC). One of the greatest challenges we are facing is that many governors are not willing to come and account for the resources we have been giving them. Some of them give flimsy excuses that do not hold any water. They fail appear the last minute rendering the Senate Committee to become almost useless. We were in Kisii waiting for some governors who never appeared. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The failure to account for the public resources is a gross violation of the Constitution because it hampers the process of oversight. When I read the observation by the Committee that it finds that allegation was unsubstantiated, I thought the trap I had laid went scot free. The next one is lack of accountability in the management of the county resources. Again, the Committee again finds that the allegation unsubstantiated. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: I was looking forward to the next one which is violation of Article 176(1) and 195 of the Constitution. To me, I usually understand very well that when one is building a very strong conclusion, the premises must logically involve the process. When I observe “not substantiated, no evidence” I feel we need to advise our partners in the county assemblies that allegations levelled against a governor must meet threshold for it impeachment. The issue of delay in payment of pending bills cuts across all the counties. Many governors have been accusing the national Government of not releasing monies to ... view
